Critters
My grandparents were farmers in the Midwest. You don't see the many skunks, deer, snakes, pheasants, rabbits, mice, ducks, crows, and many other animals by "flying over" or "driving through" a farm area, although you may see the ones who tried to cross the road. My grandfather had to "plink" a few of them with a rifle when they became nuisances, particularly the skunks.
